According to a Macon correspondent
the GeOrgians believe that Jefferson
Davis is either sadly in need of stimu-
lants in his garrulous old age or else
the prohibition movement has caused
them to unload their old stock of fine
liquors upon the ex-rebel chieftain.
When Davis left Macon for home re-
Gently, after his visit to Georgia, he re-
cslved numerous presents, among
which were 1872 bottles of wine of all
grades and ages, % bottles of whiskey.
10 bottles of choice brandy and three
bottles of gin. Besides there were ID
boxes of choice cigars to help solace
the old man in his decling years. 1t is
probable that the liquid gifts to Davis
were in recognition of the position he
took against prohibition in his discus
sion with Senator Reagan, of Texas.
There IS no occasion for the recipient
OF all those bottles to go dry for many
days, although we are told that ''manv
bottles were selected for their age as
medicinal liquors, and not as ordinary
beverages. But the prOhibitionists of
Georgia can congratulate themselves
that Davis took so much liquor out of
the state with him.

The valleys of upper Austria are de-

to any one brought up amid wide horizons

TIVE first speakers, in their rejoinors
of half an hour, handled each other
pretty roughly though good humor-
eddy. At the conclusion OF the dis
cussion numerous calls were made for
Mr.. Oliver Towles, but he refused to
speak. Calls were then made for Mr..
Frank Byers. Mr. Byars responded
in a talk of about five minutes in
which he belittled himself very much
in the estimation of all good people.
He said he read in the countenances
of that people that they were anti
prohibitionists and he thanked God
for it; said he would like to shake
hands withall anti-prohibitionists but
wanted nothing to do with such fell
lows as the two speakers, and referred
to them as being the only prohibition
lists in the crowd. He wound up by
saying that he would meet any man,
at any time and anywhere in discus
sion upon the question. During the
entire speaking the people, with per-
haps one or two exceptions, demean-
ed themselves well.

DAYLIGHT.
The Weeks News LacOnically Reported
for the Standard.

The most noticeable event of the
week was the speaking at Pleasant
Grove last Saturday. By the time
speaking was to begin a large crowd
of men, women and children had as
sembled, all seeming eager to learn
something in regard to the great
question of Prohibition. Mr.. Oliver
TOwles, of Gath, was chosen modera-
tor, who made a few brief remarks
insisting for good order and that the
people give both sides a careful hear
ing. The discussion was opened by
DIR. w. Fl. Hammer, who argued the
question mainly from two stand
points, viz: Physiological and Finan-
cial. He set forth very clearly the
fact that alcoholic liquors when drank
as a beverage, produce a very evil eff
feet upon the human system. Mr..
Hammer, in discussing the financial
aspect of the question, said saloons in
evitably and unavoidably lessen tax
payers, hence increase taxes. He al
so showed that prohibition diminish
ed crime, hence lessened ~taxes-show-
ing very clearly that the idea that if
we reach prohibition that our peo-
pie will be burdened with extra tax
es, is all a hobby to frighten men and
keep them from voting for prOhibi-
ton. Mr.. Hammer spoke for one
hour. Rev. f. b. Hammer followed.
He did not attempt to answer but
very few of the first speakers .argu-
ments. He spoke Of prohibition as
being a low down, dirty move, one Of
the most degrading Of which the
American people had ever been
guilty. He further said that God,
Christ and Paul were no prohibition
its, and asserted that prohibition pro-
hlbited never would. At the end of
forty minutes the wind was all out
OF his sails and he betOok his seat. The
moderator then announced that there
would be n hour intermission. At
| O'Clock the house was again called
to order. Mr.. J. S. Oliver being the
next speaker, came forward and
spoke for about forty minutes. He
said that God gave man a prohibitory
law in the beginning, and that all
laws, both divine and human, were
prohibitory. He said that whisky
and religion never flow in the same
channel, but that whisky and vice 90
hand in hand. He read what MI.
Dow, Of Maine, the Governor of
Kansas, and the Governor of Iowa
say in reference to prohibition in their
respective States, setting forth very
clearly that prohibition does mean
prohibition. Mr.. Oliver closed with
an earnest appeal to the voters to give
the question due consideration, and
on the 29th Of September to cast their
ballots in the way they think will he
for the promotion of good. Mr.. 7.
j, Henegar then followed in speech
of an hours length. His argument
was mainly scriptural. He contend
ed that God authorized the making,
selling and use of spirituous liquors,
that the Bible nowhere colored like
prohibition. He dwelt long and loud

The value of ensilage seems to be
greater than its mostsanguine friends
anticipated. A well-known breeder
at Franklin, Pa, states that he can
keep as many cows on twenty-seven
acres, with the use Of ensilage, as he
formerly did with 127 acres in the
meadow. He thinks ensilage very
wholesome, and the cost per COW is
only SD per year. Such evidence
solves all problems, and should re-
move all doubts. Ensilage is destin-
ed at some time to be an indispensi-
bic article on all farms.-People and
